FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to silicone compositions, moreparticularly to compositions comprising a silicone polymer networkcomprising cross-links derived from epoxide or oxirane moieites.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The personal care industry thrives on being able to deliver multipleperformance products based on mixtures of several components, with eachhaving performance characteristics important to or desirable in thefinal formulation. One desirable characteristic is the ability toprovide a silky initial feel derived from low molecular weightsilicones, such as for example, octamethylcyclotetrasilioxane ordecamethylcyclopentasiloxane, in the formulation while maintaining ahigh, but shear-thinnable viscosity. While these low molecular weightsilicones provide the desired feel characteristics, they are also lowviscosity, highly flowable liquids. Thus they are not easily held in aformulation, preferring rather to separate and flow out of a givencontainer or flow uncontrollably across the skin when used in a specificapplication. Further, it desirable to achieve an initial silky feelwhile providing a smooth, low-residue feel upon dry-down. Polymericsilicone gels prepared in volatile silicone have been found to deliverdesirable initial feel of volatile, low viscosity silicones toformulations while at the same time provide high viscosity and a smoothsilky feel on dry-down, see for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,760,116,5,493,041 and 4,987,169.

Such polymeric silicone gels have typically been made by thehydrosilylation reaction, which requires the use of both SiH functionalgroups and terminal olefinic groups to form crosslinked siloxanepolymers. Thus only siloxane structures that can incorporatesilylhydride groups and optionally, vinyl functional siloxane groups,can be utilized in making these materials. Further this method ofgenerating crosslinked siloxane polymers limits the range of desirableorganofunctional groups that may be incorporated into the polymericstructure to create additional performance advantages in complexformulations. Thus attempts to include organofunctional groups into thecrosslinked siloxane polymer include unsaturated organic groupscompatible with the hydrosilylaton reaction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The compositions of the present invention comprise the reaction productsof an epoxy functional hydrido siloxane molecule having the followingformula:M_(a)M^(H) _(b)M^(E) _(c)D_(d)D^(H) _(e)D^(E) _(f)T_(g)T^(H) _(h)T^(E)_(i)Q_(j)where

-   -   M=R¹R²R³SiO_(1/2);    -   M^(H)=R⁴R⁵H SiO_(1/2);    -   M^(E)=R⁶R⁷R^(E)SiO_(1/2);    -   D=R⁸R⁹SiO_(2/2);    -   D^(H)=R¹⁰HSiO_(2/2);    -   D^(E)=R¹¹R^(E)SiO_(2/2);    -   T=R¹²SiO_(3/2);    -   T^(H)=HSiO_(3/2);    -   T^(E)=R^(E)SiO_(3/2); and    -   Q=SiO_(4/2);        where R¹, R², R³, R⁸, R⁹ and R¹² are independently monovalent        hydrocarbon radicals having from one to sixty carbon atoms; R⁴,        R⁵ and R¹⁰ are independently monovalent hydrocarbon radicals        having from one to sixty carbon atoms or hydrogen; R⁶, R⁷, R¹¹        are independently monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from        one to sixty carbon atoms or R^(E); each R^(E) is independently        a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing one or more oxirane        moieties having from one to sixty carbon atoms; the        stoichiometric subscripts a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, and j are        either zero or positive subject to the following limitations:        a+b+c>1;b+e+h>1;c+f+i>1;b+e+h>c+f+i.

One method of producing the composition of the present invention is toreact a molecule having the following formula:M_(a)M^(H) _(b′)D_(d)D^(H) _(e′)T_(g)T^(H) _(h′)Q_(j)wherein the definitions and relationships are as later defined (and alsoconsistent with those defined above) under hydrosilylation conditionswith an olefinically unsaturated molecule containing one or more oxiranemoieties under conditions of stoichiometry where the molar quantity ofoxirane is less than the molar quantity of silyl hydride. As used hereinthe phrase “an olefinically unsaturated molecule containing one or moreoxirane moieties” means a molecule possessing one or more interior,pendant or terminal carbon carbon double bonds simultaneously with oneor more interior, pendant or terminal three membered oxygen containingheterocyclic rings (chemically the phrase “three membered oxygencontaining heterocyclic ring” is used herein interchangeably with theoxirane or epoxide structures). The simplest chemical structureexemplified by such a definition is:

but also includes alicyclic structures exemplified by:

where the subscript k may be zero or a positive integer, more preferablya positive integer ranging generally from 0 to about 10. It should benoted that both exemplified structures are terminal in both the olefinicmoiety and the oxirane (epoxide) moiety. A more general chemicalstructure is:

where R¹³, R¹⁴, R¹⁵, R¹⁶, R¹⁷ and R¹⁸ are each independently selectedfrom the group of hydrogen and monovalent hydrocarbon radicals havingfrom one to sixty carbon atoms, Q_(m) is a di- or trivalent hydrocarbonradical having from one to sixty carbon atoms, Q_(n) is a divalenthydrocarbon radical having from one to sixty carbon atoms with thesubscripts m and n independently zero or one subject to the limitationthat when Qm is trivalent one of R¹³ or R¹⁴ is absent and where R¹⁶ andR¹⁸ may be either cis- or trans- to each other.

Thus one possible synthetic pathway to prepare the reaction products ofthe present invention is as follows:

reacting under hydrosilylation conditions to yield M_(a)M^(H) _(b)M^(E)_(c)D_(d)D^(H) _(e)D^(E) _(f)T_(g)T^(H) _(h)T^(E) _(i)Q_(j) when thestoichiometric coefficient, α, is less than the sum of b′+e′+h′. Itshould be noted that the stoichiometric coefficients b, e, and h definethe quantity of hydride bearing species M^(H), D^(H) and T^(H) in bothreactant and product and are related one to other in that fashion butbecause some of the hydride bearing functions have reacted with anolefinically unsaturated molecule containing one or more oxiranemoieties the following relationships must necessarily obtain:b′+e′+h′>b+e+h and b+c+e+f+h+i=b′+e′+h′. It is to be noted thatacetylene analogs of the olefinically unsaturated oxirane containingmolecules will produce similar species that will react to form similarproducts. Thus as used herein the phrase an olefinically unsaturatedmolecule containing one or more oxirane moieties is intended to alsoinclude an acetylenically unsaturated molecule containing one or moreoxirane moieties. The phrase “an acetylenically unsaturated moleculecontaining one or more oxirane moieties” means a molecule possessing oneor more interior, pendant or terminal carbon carbon triple bondssimultaneously with one or more interior, pendant or terminal threemembered oxygen containing heterocyclic rings (chemically the phrase“three membered oxygen containing heterocyclic ring” is used hereininterchangeably with the oxirane or epoxide structures). When theepoxide compound is an olefinic epoxide, a specific example being:

then R^(E) as a substituent, becomes

with all the definitions consistent with those as previously defined.When the epoxide is an acetylenic epoxide, a specific example being:

-   -   or        then R^(E) as a substituent, becomes either:        with all the definitions consistent with those as previously        defined.

The silyl hydride bearing precursor molecule, M_(a)M^(H) _(b′)D_(d)D^(H)_(e′)T_(g)T^(H) _(h)Q_(j), can be prepared by a variety of techniquesknown in the art. Epoxy substituted siloxanes are prepared in the normalmanner through the use of a hydrosilylation reaction to attach a vinylor allyl substituted epoxide onto an SiH bearing siloxane. SiHcontaining siloxanes are well known in the art and can be linear,branched, or cyclic in structure. Examples of useful vinyl or allylsubstituted epoxides include 4-vinyl cyclohexene oxide, allyl glycidylether, limonene oxide, 1,2-epoxy-5-hexene, 1,2-epoxy-7-octene,norbornadiene monoepoxide and 1,2-epoxy-9-decene. Precious metalcatalysts suitable for making epoxy siloxanes are also well known in theart and comprise complexes of rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium,iridium and/or platinum.

Many types of platinum catalysts for this SiH olefin addition reaction(hydrosilation or hydrosilylation) are known and such platinum catalystsmay be used for the reaction in the present instance. When opticalclarity is required the preferred platinum catalysts are those platinumcompound catalysts that are soluble in the reaction mixture. Theplatinum compound can be selected from those having the formula(PtCl₂Olefin) and H(PtCl₃Olefin) as described in U.S. Pat. No.3,159,601, hereby incorporated by reference. A further platinumcontaining material usable in the compositions of the present inventionis the cyclopropane complex of platinum chloride described in U.S. Pat.No. 3,159,662 hereby incorporated by reference. Further the platinumcontaining material can be a complex formed from chloroplatinic acidwith up to 2 moles per gram of platinum of a member selected from theclass consisting of alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and mixtures of theabove as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,220,972 hereby incorporated byreference. The catalysts preferred for use are described in U.S. Pat.Nos. 3,715,334; 3,775,452; and 3,814,730 to Karstedt. Additionalbackground concerning the art may be found at J. L. Spier, “HomogeneousCatalysis of Hydrosilation by Transition Metals, in Advances inOrganometallic Chemistry, volume 17, pages 407 through 447, F. G. A.Stone and R. West editors, published by the Academic Press (New York,1979). Persons skilled in the art can easily determine an effectiveamount of platinum catalyst. Generally, an effective amount ranges fromabout 0.1 to 50 parts per million of the total organopolysiloxanecomposition.

The reaction product of M_(a)M^(H) _(b)M^(E) _(c)D_(d)D^(H) _(e)D^(E)_(f)T_(g)T^(H) _(h)T^(E) _(i)Q_(j) produces a polymer network, believedto be a polyether siloxane copolymer network (or alternatively asiloxane polyether copolymer network). As used herein, the terminology“network” means a three dimensionally extending structure comprisinginterconnected polyether siloxane copolymer chains. Preferably, fluid iscontained within interstices of the network. The term “interstices” isused herein in reference to a network to denote spaces within thenetwork, that is, spaces between the polyether siloxane copolymer chainsof the network. As used herein in the context of the polyether siloxanecopolymer network, the term polyether is intended to include thereaction product of two or more epoxide moieties to form one or moreether linkages that form a cross link between siloxane chains ormoieties.

In one preferred embodiment, the polyether siloxane copolymer network isa crosslinked network that is insoluble in the fluid component of thesilicone composition of the present invention, but that is capable ofbeing swollen by the fluid. The amount of crosslinking present in thecrosslinked network may be characterized with respect to the degree ofswelling exhibited by the network in the fluid. In another preferredembodiment, the crosslinked structure of the network is effective toallow the network to be swollen by a low molecular weight fluid orsilicone fluid, such as, for example, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, fromits original volume to a swollen volume that is a factor of from 1.01 to5000, more preferably from 2 to 1000, and even more preferably from 5 to500, times its original volume. The original volume of the network canbe determined, for example, by extracting or evaporating all of thefluid component from the silicone composition of the present inventionto leave the original volume, that is, the volume of the polyethersiloxane copolymer network in the absence of the fluid.

As used herein the terminology “hydrocarbon radical” includes acyclichydrocarbon radicals, alicyclic hydrocarbon radicals and aromatichydrocarbon radicals.

As used herein in reference to a hydrocarbon radical, the term“monovalent” means that the radical is capable of forming one covalentbond per radical, the term “divalent” means that the radical is capableof forming two covalent bonds per radical and the term “trivalent” meansthat the radical is capable of forming three covalent bonds per radical.Generally, a monovalent radical can be represented as having beenderived from a saturated hydrocarbon compound by conceptual removal ofone hydrogen atom from the compound, a divalent radical can berepresented as having been derived from a saturated hydrocarbon compoundby conceptual removal of two hydrogen atoms from the compound and atrivalent radical can be represented as having been derived from asaturated hydrocarbon compound by conceptual removal of three hydrogenatoms from the compound. For example, an ethyl radical, that is, a—CH₂CH₃ radical, is a monovalent radical; a dimethylene radical, thatis, a —(CH₂)₂— radical, is a divalent radical and an ethanetriylradical, that is,

radical, is a trivalent radical, each of which can be represented ashaving been derived by conceptual removal of one or more hydrogen atomsfrom the saturated hydrocarbon ethane.

As used herein, the terminology “acyclic hydrocarbon radical” means astraight chain or branched hydrocarbon radical, preferably containingfrom 1 to 60 carbon atoms per radical, which may be saturated orunsaturated and which may be optionally substituted or interrupted withone or more atoms or functional groups, such as, for example, carboxyl,cyano, hydroxy, halo and oxy. As long as these functional groups do notinterfere with the cationic cure mechanism of the epoxide or oxiranemoiety, suitable monovalent acyclic hydrocarbon radicals may include,for example, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hydroxyalkyl, cyanoalkyl,carboxyalkyl, alkyloxy, oxaalkyl, alkylcarbonyloxaalkylene, carboxamideand haloalkyl, such as, for example, methyl, ethyl, sec-butyl,tert-butyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl, cetyl, stearyl, ethenyl, propenyl,butynyl, hydroxypropyl, cyanoethyl, butoxy, 2,5,8-trioxadecanyl,carboxymethyl, chloromethyl and 3,3,3-fluoropropyl. Suitable divalentacyclic hydrocarbon radicals include, for example, linear or branchedalkylene radicals, such as, for example, methylene, dimethylene,trimethylene, decamethylene, ethylethylene, 2-methyltrimethylene,2,2-dimethyltrimethylene and linear or branched oxalkylene radicals suchas, for example, methyleneoxypropylene. Suitable trivalent acyclichydrocarbon radicals include, for example, alkanetriyl radicals, suchas, for example, 1,1,2-ethanetriyl, 1,2,4-butanetriyl,1,2,8-octanetriyl, 1,2,4-cyclohexanetriyl and oxaalkanetriyl radicalssuch as, for example, 1,2,6-triyl-4-oxahexane.

As used herein the term “alkyl” means a saturated straight or branchedmonovalent hydrocarbon radical. In a preferred embodiment, monovalentalkyl groups are selected from linear or branched alkyl groupscontaining from 1 to 60 carbons per group, such as, for example, methyl,ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl,pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, decyl, dodecyl.

As used herein the term “alkenyl” means a straight or branchedmonovalent terminally unsaturated hydrocarbon radical, preferablycontaining from 2 to 10 carbon atoms per radical, such as, for example,ethenyl, 2-propenyl, 3-butenyl, 5-hexenyl, 7-octenyl and ethenylphenyl.

As used herein, the terminology “alicyclic hydrocarbon radical” means aradical containing one or more saturated hydrocarbon rings, preferablycontaining from 4 to 12 carbon atoms per ring, per radical which mayoptionally be substituted on one or more of the rings with one or morealkyl radicals, each preferably containing from 2 to 6 carbon atoms peralkyl radical, halo radicals or other functional groups and which, inthe case of a monovalent alicyclic hydrocarbon radical containing two ormore rings, may be fused rings. Suitable monovalent alicyclichydrocarbon radicals include, for example, cyclohexyl and cyclooctyl.Suitable divalent hydrocarbon radicals include, saturated or unsaturateddivalent monocyclic hydrocarbon radicals, such as, for example,1,4-cyclohexylene. Suitable trivalent alicyclic hydrocarbon radicalsinclude, for example, cycloalkanetriyl radicals such as, for example,1-dimethylene-2,4-cyclohexylene,1-methylethylene-3-methyl-3,4-cyclohexylene.

As used herein, the terminology “aromatic hydrocarbon radical” means ahydrocarbon radical containing one or more aromatic rings per radical,which may, optionally, be substituted on the aromatic rings with one ormore alkyl radicals, each preferably containing from 2 to 6 carbon atomsper alkyl radical, halo radicals or other functional groups and which,in the case of a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon radical containing twoor more rings, may be fused rings. Suitable monovalent aromatichydrocarbon radicals include, for example, phenyl, tolyl,2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, 1,2-isopropylmethylphenyl, 1-pentalenyl,naphthyl, anthryl, eugenol and allylphenol as well as aralkyl radicalssuch as, for example, 2-phenylethyl. Suitable divalent aromatichydrocarbon radicals include, for example, divalent monocyclic arenessuch as, for example, 1,2-phenylene, 1,4-phenylene,4-methyl-1,2-phenylene, phenylmethylene. Suitable trivalent aromatichydrocarbon radicals include, for example, trivalent monocyclic arenessuch as, for example, 1-trimethylene-3,5-phenylene.

In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy functional organosiloxane compoundis reacted by polymerizing the epoxy functional organosiloxane compoundunder cationic polymerization conditions and, preferably, in thepresence of a fluid, preferably a volatile siloxane fluid. In oneembodiment, the epoxy functional organosiloxane compound is polymerizedin the presence of a fluid to directly form the silicone composition ofthe present invention. In another embodiment, the epoxy functionalorganosiloxane compound is polymerized in the presence of a first fluidor fluid mixture to form a polyether siloxane copolymer network, andthen the network so formed is subsequently swollen with a second fluidor fluid mixture to form the silicone composition of the presentinvention. The second fluid or fluid mixture may be the same as ordifferent from the first fluid mixture. The first solvent may,optionally, be removed from the polymerized network by, for example,evaporation, prior to addition of the second fluid. As a furtheralternative, the epoxy functional organosiloxane compound is polymerizedin the absence of a fluid to form a polyether siloxane copolymer networkand the network is subsequently swollen with a fluid or mixture offluids to form the silicone composition of the present invention. Inanother embodiment, the polymerization of the epoxy functionalorganosiloxane is conducted with a sufficient amount of excesshydridosiloxane functionality such that there is residual hydrideremaining after polymerization that may be subsequently reacted underconditions suitable for hydrosilylation with one or more alkenylfunctional compounds. This is especially advantageous in cases where thealkenyl functional compounds can act as inhibitors of cationic cure.Such alkenyl compounds are those that contain a functionality that canact as an inhibitor of the cationic cure mechanism, e.g. a base. Inanother embodiment, a small amount of a concentrated hydridosiloxane orhydridosilane compound is added in order to increase the rate ofpolymerization.

Cationic polymerization conditions can be generated by addition of anacid catalyst capable of polymerizing an epoxy group such as, forexample, by addition of onium salt generated acids and certain metalsalts, such as, for example, aluminum trichloride and ferric chloride,which act as Lewis acids or by addition of lanthanide triflates, see PCTInt. Appl. WO 0008,087. Acid catalyzed polymerization of epoxides is awell known method of forming organic polymers and has been applied toepoxy-functional siloxane compounds in order to form siloxanepolyalkyleneoxide block copolymers for use in a variety of applicationsas, for example, release coatings on paper, see, for example, U.S. Pat.No. 4,279,717, and in conjunction with organic materials to formcoatings and modified plastic compositions, see for example, U.S. Pat.Nos. 5,354,796 and 5,663,752. One precautionary note must be observed,that is if the cationic polymerization is conducted in the presence ofcyclic siloxanes, e.g. D₃, D₄ or D₅ and the like, the strength of theacid catalysis employed must be such that cationic polymerization of theepoxide moiety occurs but polymerization of the cyclic siloxane does notoccur to any appreciable extent.

In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy functional organosiloxane compoundis polymerized under cationic cure conditions generated through theinteraction with platinum and an SiH-containing compound. This epoxidepolymerization reaction route is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,128,431and by J. V. Crivello and N. Fan, J. Polymer Sci., Part A: PolymerChemistry, pp. 1853-1863 (1997). In this embodiment, the reactionkinetics appear to be dependent upon the presence of trace quantities ofmolecular oxygen.

The polyether siloxane copolymer network compositions of the presentinvention produce a cross linked structure that possesses a certainamount of steric hindrance by reason of the cross links. This sterichindrance tends to prevent the reaction from going to completion even atlong reaction times and thus a certain amount of residual functionalitymay remain. This residual functionality provides the ability toincorporate other functionality into the polyether siloxane copolymernetwork by reaction with functionalized molecules that are not assterically constrained as the polyether siloxane copolymer network or itmust be chemically inactivated. One reason the residual functionalitymight desirably be chemically inactivated is that in the processing ofthese materials as a polyether siloxane copolymer network swollen with alow molecular weight siloxane compound (or alternatively, low molecularweight silicone fluid), usually D₃, D₄, D₅, D₆ or M′D′_(q)T′_(s)M′ aslater defined, is that processing under conditions of high shear tendsto disrupt the network reducing the level of steric hindrance and thuscould enable further cross linking reactions to occur because of thechemically exposed residual functionality. Post-cure cross linking isknown to occur in addition polymerized silicones where the additionpolymerization occurs via hydrosilylation. These materials are preparedby first hydrosilylation of a silyl hydride with an olefinic oracetylenic oxirane or epoxide compound. Thus a noble metalhydrosilylation catalyst will be present in the reaction mixture orwithin the interstices of the polyether siloxane copolymer network. Thiscatalyst may be used to further polymerize the oxirane or epoxide moiety(moieties) incorporated in the reaction product producing the polyethersiloxane copolymer network(s) of the present invention. The residualfunctionality remaining by design, i.e. by use of sub-stoichiometricquantities, or by reason of steric inhibition of reaction completion maybe further reacted as taught herein or neutralized or inhibited. U.S.Pat. Nos. 5,977,280 and 5,929,164, both herein incorporated byreference, teach such neutralization of hydrosilylation catalysts bytreatment with strong noble metal complexing ligands, for examplephosphines, amines and organic sulfur compounds such as organic sulfidesand thiols. However, some of these strongly complexing ligands, whiledeactivating a noble metal hydrosilylation catalyst are toxic and thustheir use must be avoided in some applications, e.g. personal careapplications. Thus sulfur containing amino acid esters are strong noblemetal complexing ligands and methionine methyl ester, methionine ethylester, cysteine methyl ester, cysteine ethyl ester and cysteine dimethylester have been preferred for such noble metal deactivation. It shouldbe noted that naturally occurring proteins containing disulfide linkagesthat are easily disrupted may also be used to deactivate the noble metalcatalysts employed, e.g. egg yolks and the like. Sulfur containing aminoacid amides, polypeptides and the like may also function similarly todeactivate noble metal hydrosilylation catalysts.

The method of polymer synthesis provides for incorporation of a widerange of organofunctional groups into the copolymeric structure. Thus,the inclusion of other organofunctional groups, such as, for example,organic epoxides, epoxysiloxanes, terminally unsaturated organic andalkenylsiloxane compounds can be used to modify the resultingcopolymers.

In an alternative embodiment, the organofunctional groups are introducedto the network during polymerization of the epoxyfunctionalorganosiloxane by including organofunctional compounds to the reactionmixture which are copolymerizable with the epoxy functionalorganosiloxane under the chosen polymerization reaction conditions.

In one embodiment, polymerization of the epoxy functional organosiloxaneis conducted in the presence of one or more organic epoxide compoundswhich are copolymerizable with epoxy functional hydrido siloxanes underthe polymerization conditions to form mixed polyalkyleneoxide units. Theadditional organic epoxide compounds may contain different substituentsto further modify the resulting copolymer. Suitable organic epoxidecompounds include, for example, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide,butylene oxide, cyclohexene oxide, glycidol and epoxide oils such as forexample epoxidized soybean oil.

In another embodiment, the polymerization of the epoxy functionalorganosiloxane is conducted in the presence of one or more hydroxylfunctional compounds which are copolymerizable with epoxy functionalhydrido siloxanes under the polymerization conditions to modify theproduct copolymer. Suitable hydroxyl functional compounds include, forexample, water, hydroxy-stopped polyethers, organic alcohols, includingorganic diols, carbinol functional siloxanes and hydroxy functionalorganopolysiloxane polymers, including polyethersiloxane copolymers.

In another embodiment, the polymerization of the epoxy functionalorganosiloxane is conducted in the presence one or more alkenylfunctional compounds which are copolymerizable with epoxy functionalhydrido siloxanes under the polymerization conditions to modify theproduct copolymer. Suitable alkenyl functional compounds include alkenylfunctional organic compounds, such as, for example, hexadiene, andalkenyl functional silicone compounds, such as for example, vinylpolydimethylsiloxanes. For example, an alkenyl-functional compound mayconveniently be added via hydrosilylation in those embodiments in whichthe cationic reaction conditions for reacting the epoxide groups aregenerated using platinum and a hydrido-substituted siloxane, asdescribed above.

The silicone composition may be further processed under low to highshear to adjust the viscosity and sensory feel of the composition. Thismay be achieved, for example, by subjecting the composition to amoderate to high shearing force. High shear may be applied using, forexample, a Sonolator apparatus, a Gaulin Homogenizer or a MicroFluidizer apparatus. Optionally, one or more fluids may be added to thesilicone composition prior to the shearing.
